We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome.

We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Not the best best experience !

Reviewed by: Worse dinner cruise ever!

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!

Everything had changed compared to the past. 昔と違って全てが変わっていた。

Reviewed by: Wine ずき

At Five Star Dinner, there used to be a hula dance show, but now it's gone, and it's just jazz and piano, which was different from what I expected, so I was disappointed. The price is high, so I couldn't help but think, "Is this worth this price?" Also, the shuttle bus was playing old videos, and it hasn't been updated.

ファイブスターディナーでは、基本的にフラダンスのショーマ行っていたのに、今は無くなっていてジャズ?とピアノだけで、思ったのとは違ったので残念でした。お値段も高いので、これでこの価格かぉと思ってしまいました。また、シャトルバスも、昔のもののビデオを流していて、リニューアルができておりませんでした。ex)Twitter表記など。

Thank you very much for joining us on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise with your spouse. We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the overall sunset cruise on the Nova Five Star. We are confident that you enjoyed the beautiful Hawaiian sunset, the fireworks on Friday, and the night view from the ship. Thank you for your feedback. We will take this opportunity to continually strive for improvement.

この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ノバファイブスターでのサンセットクルーズ全体的にご満足されなかった事を残念に思っております。ハワイの素敵なサンセット、船上からの金曜日の花火と夜景等お楽しみになられたかと確信しております。今回のお声を有難うございます。これを機会に常に改善できるよう心がけて行きたいと思います。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「カ・モアナ・ルアウ」本格フラと豪華ビュッフェ付き!盛りだくさんのカルチャー体験も!<アロハタワーマーケットプレイス内/送迎可>

The front row is recommended. 最前列がオススメ

Reviewed by: キリコ

I used the Celebrity Course at a discount campaign, which was a bit cheaper. I arrived early to get a good seat, and the Japanese staff secured a front-row spot for us, providing detailed explanations about the food, drinks, and experiences. The food was served on a single plate rather than a buffet. Although I was told I could have seconds, there was so much that I couldn't finish it all. The children, who hadn't enjoyed the Hawaiian cuisine much until then, said it was close to Japanese flavors and easy to eat. The seasoning was mild and quite tasty.

The highlight was definitely the show, which was incredibly powerful from the front row. The dancers, both male and female, were all beautiful and captivating, and their performances were impressive. I couldn't take my eyes off the movements of their muscles and the delicate gestures of their hands. This level of intensity could only be experienced from the front row.

Unfortunately, my understanding of English was a bit lacking. The performers were very skilled at engaging the audience, and the venue was lively, but I only understood parts of it. One thing to note is that I was informed that a photo taken with the performers at the beginning would cost $30 each (was it $60 for two photos with different poses?). The photos turned out well, so I ended up buying one with the Aloha pose. After purchasing, I was able to download the data. While it's a nice memento, it is a bit pricey. However, my overall satisfaction was excellent. I'm glad I came.

割引キャンペーンで少し安くセレブリティコースを利用しました
良い席に座りたくて早く行きましたが、日本人スタッフの方が最前列を確保して下さっていて、料理やドリンク、体験などの細かな説明も全てしてくださいました
料理はビュッフェではなく、ワンプレートでサーブされたのものが運ばれてきました
おかわりもできるとの事でしたが、全部食べきれないくらいたくさんありました
それまでのハワイの料理があまり口に合わなかった子どもたちが、日本の味に近くて食べやすいと言っていました
味付けがマイルドで普通に美味しかったです
一番良かったのはやはり最前列で見ることができたショーですごく迫力がありました
ダンサーたちは男女共にみなさん美しく魅力的で、パフォーマンスも見応えがありました
筋肉の動きや手先の細やかな動きまで、目が離せませんでした
この迫力は最前列でなければ見ることはできないでしょう
残念だったのは、自分の英語の理解力です
パフォーマーの口上も盛り上げ方もとても上手で、会場はとても盛り上がっていましたが、私は所々しか分かりませんでした
注意したいのは、最初にパフォーマーと一緒に撮影した写真が1枚30ドルで案内されたことですが、(ポーズが違う写真2枚で60?だったかな)良く取れていたので、アロハポーズの写真を1枚買ってしまいました
購入すれば、データもダウンロードできました
思い出としては良いものですが、少し高いですね
しかし、全体的な満足感はバッチリでした
